I wish they had a website I could link you to.

"I Want You to Find Peace, and I Want You to Find Joy"
In the words of soul singer James Brown:Good God Almighty!
I could barely believe my eyes when I saw this photo
of Tammy Faye (Bakker) Messner.
I was never a fan of her or her ex-husband,
but anyone who can have such faith, hope and joy
when they are suffering such a horrible disease
is TOPS in my book.
She is 65 years old, and weighs one pound for each year of her life.
More power to ya, Tammy Faye

Ring of Fire...And It's My Birthday!
Okay..so it's not a ring of fire as Johnny Cash spoke of...
It's an Auroral Ring.
From this perspective, the curtains of green light
seemed to hover above the Fall trees..
The ring was actually approximately 100 kilometers above the trees.
And YES!
It's my birthday today!
I will share with you what Tom and I did to celebrate...
Okay, maybe not ALL of the sordid details..
;-)

Alien Invasion? And Moodring CD
Cool lenticular cloud captured over Wyoming..
These layered clouds are typically formed by high winds over rugged terrain, and particularly apparent when few other clouds are in the sky
On a totally unrelated note, I ordered the Third of Never Moodring CD
from CDBaby, and received the coolest order confirmation email EVER!
"Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Monday, June 25th.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh..."

Put on a Happy Face
This is the Martian crater Galle.
A large meteor impacted the surface of Mars,
creating internal markings reminiscent of a smiley face.
Go ahead...try not to crack a smile when you look at it!
;-)
And, in case anyone is curious...
I decided I would go ahead and use Kayla instead of KJ.
The way I figure it, old bf will find me on Blogger if he hasn't already.

Persian Rice and Will Rogers...What? You're looking as though the two have nothing in common?!
While I was on vacation recently, I made one HELL of a pot of steamed Persian rice. This photo is from the bottom of the large pot and is very crunchy rice.
The steamed rice cooks on top of this piece (inverted) and turns out very light and fluffy...not sticky. That is, IF you do it right!
Ha..I've done it wrong many times.
Crush and dilute a little saffron and pour over the top of the steamed rice and it makes a lovely dish.
All you ever wanted to know about making rice, right??
